“Emil is uncannily adept at observing interpersonal dynamics and identifying root causes of behaviors/situations. He has an uncanny ability to let you know that he cares about you while asking probing/challenging questions that help you understand the situation and root cause of relationship dynamics. If he assigns homework it is exactly what is needed.
If you are willing to swallow some pride and really listen/act on what he shares with you one visit to Emil can make more difference in your life than a year of visits to other therapists.”

What should a new client know about working with you?
The first session will really be about me getting to know you and what brings you to therapy. While you are talking with me I'll be running your story through several therapeutic lenses to make sense of what is going on in your life, so I can more effectively create interventions that will drive change. At the end of the first session, most of the time, I'll be able to walk you through what we need to do in order to help you get where you want to me.
My book, "You Can Turn Conflict Into Closeness" provides the actual tools and strategies to be able to handle conflict with confidence and composure. You can get a copy of my book by going to emilharker.com and clicking on the free book icon.

Emil Harker has been great so far. He is a good listener and really tries to focus on lasting changes to help benefit you as an individual as well as for a marriage. Im excited to see what the future brings as my husband and I apply the principles he teaches and continue to learn from him.

We will definitely go back!
This was my first experience with therapy. I was very skeptical about going but am so glad I did. It was amazing how quickly Emil was able to identify our core marital issues. He was able to present information clearly and effectively for us to understand what we need to do going forward. My husband and I both feel that we are on a good trajectory for improvement within our relationship.

Transformed our marriage! Learning that only humility and accountability brings about change has been such a blessing to our marriage and other relationships. Emil cares. Emil is so helpful and helps you pull away layers of things very easily.

So excellent. Could immediately cut right to the chase and provide exact help in a short amount of time, while giving other options and resources to not incur unnecessary expenses. That is my guy— I can’t recommend more highly! Ken

Absolutely the best therapist that I've ever seen. His approach and insights are impactful and drive right to the heart of the issue. We have seen several other therapists over several years with little progress (and some even exacerbated problems) but Emil was able to immediately understand the core issues and teach us how to fix them. A few visits later, my marriage is now thriving thanks to what we've learned and we're happily working to make it even better!
I can't thank Emil enough!

Emil is uniquely insightful and the best MFT that I have ever met. He is very approachable and has a way of leading a person through exactly what they need to learn to address the root causes of issues and inspire you!
One session with him provided more benefit than a dozen visits to a previous MFT and a couple more sessions helped us change our marriage!
I highly recommend that every couple thoughtfully read his book "conflict to closeness" whether you go see him or not because it can show you how to change your relationships. If you are willing to put in the introspective work he can help you change your life!
When I first heard him talk about a custom-built marriage and "rocket rails" I rolled my eyes. I can say that he's not kidding.
I highly recommend Emil!

I would recommend Emil to everyone. Emil teaches you the tools to rewire where you need to fix problems in your life. He listens without judgment and really wants to help you become the best version of yourself. He has helped me in my marriage as well as some of my personal struggles. I wish the things Emil teaches about marriage And every day life tools were implemented into schools. He is life changing with his tools he teaches you and everyone will benefit from going to see him.
